Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Frilsham
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. We’re frequently asked to cater celebrating a big win and retirement and leaving lunches, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For farms and rural sites near Frilsham, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Common questions in Frilsham
How far is Frilsham from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Frilsham?
The closest is Midgham station, roughly 4.3 miles away.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to Frilsham?
Yes, we do. Frilsham is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Where will the van go on our site?
Generally, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Corporate buffets are normally cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.
What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Send round an allergy question
- Give us break and shift times
Put bins near the hatch.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Frilsham for staff days and team lunches
Frilsham is about 4 miles north-east of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. For staff events in Frilsham, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Frilsham is one of 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Frilsham to Reading (10 miles away).
For staff and visitors coming by train, the closest railway station is Midgham station, roughly 4.3 miles south of the centre. The North Wessex Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles, which suits team days in the countryside.
Wherever your staff event is in RG18, we can bring the van to you. Local streets include Beechfield Lane, Hatchets Lane and Chapel Lane; a staff event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. For staff events just outside Frilsham, we cover Yattendon (1 mile north-east), Wellhouse (2 miles west), Little Hungerford (2 miles west), Hampstead Norreys (2 miles north-west) and Oare (2 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Newbury (6 miles south-west), Thatcham (4 miles south-west), Burghfield Common (8 miles south-east), Speenhamland (6 miles south-west), Hungerford (13 miles west) and Spencers Wood (11 miles east).

- Local pubs include The Pot Kiln pub (under half a mile east)
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Lunchtime bookings in Frilsham are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us a contact for the day
